  45. Joanne and family,

    I am saddened to hear of Betty’s passing. She was a friend to many, wearing different hats but always with a smile. A great friend of my Mom’s as well as mine from working with her at the manor. I remember the laughter from the many pranks pulled and the cold ones after a hot shift. The one thing that I respected about Betty was if she had an opinion she shared it whether you agreed with it or not. Memories are a wonderful gift from God, cherish those that you will always carry with you. My deepest sympathy to you all. God Bless
